Cosmetic Enhancements: Harmonyca declares that among numerous beauty treatments, this one is her top pick
In the world of anti-aging treatments, a new option has emerged that targets the concerns of 'mid-lifers' and above. Harmonyca, a hybrid injectable treatment, offers a solution for issues such as 'concertina' lines and jowls that typically appear in the forties.
Harmonyca operates on the same principle as polynucleotides treatment but with a different active ingredient: calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA). The treatment is administered via an extra-long cannula to the lower dermal layer. The cannula moves around freely under the skin without causing damage, thanks to the incorporation of anesthetic Lidocaine in the gel.
The procedure is uncomfortable but bearable. However, it's worth noting that some may feel a horrible pressure near the jaw, where the cannula reaches its furthest point. The treatment involves making injection points in the number of four.
So, what can one expect from Harmonyca? The long-term results include firmer, smoother skin on the cheeks and jawline, less thinning and slackening, and plumping out 'sideways WiFi symbol' laughter lines spreading from the corners of the mouth towards the lower cheeks, also known as 'accordion' or 'concertina' lines.
The volumizing and line-plumping results of Harmonyca improve over about 18 months, with some cases lasting even three years. It's important to note that many tweakment results are temporary, ranging from 3 months for toxin injections to 18 months for fillers.
Dr Parikh charges £1200 for the Harmonyca procedure, including a spell under the skin-calming LED light device Celluma. Other London clinics can charge from £1600 and upwards, while outside the capital, the treatment starts at about £850.
Ingeborg van Lotringen, a beauty journalist with 25 years of experience and 5 years as an aesthetic treatments columnist, prefers treatments that rev up skin function or replace lost tissue and moisture, rather than those that visibly reshape or augment the face. She has tried various non-surgical cosmetic tweakments including injectables, energy-based devices, and other skin stimulants.
For those with exceptionally slack and loose skin from their 60s and beyond, surgery may be a more suitable option. However, for those in their forties and beyond seeking a non-surgical approach, Harmonyca could be a worthwhile consideration.
The best non-surgical anti-aging treatments depend on age and skin condition. Other effective options include SVF therapy (stromal vascular fraction) using the patient's own fat cells for natural cell regeneration and skin rejuvenation, Dermapen microneedling combined with PRP or laser therapies to stimulate collagen, and NAD+ infusions to enhance cellular energy and skin vitality. These methods are minimally invasive, low-risk, and provide visible improvements often from age 30 onward.
In conclusion, Harmonyca offers a promising solution for those seeking a non-surgical approach to addressing the signs of aging. As with any cosmetic treatment, it's essential to consult with a qualified professional to determine if Harmonyca is the right choice for you.
